England vs India 2nd T20I: How to pick Fantasy XI?
What's the story
Indian will be up against England, today, in the second T20I of the three-match series. Kohli-led India come from three successive T20I series wins this year, and also lead this series 1-0 after their victory in Manchester. Fans playing Dream XI must be wondering how to get the combination right for this fixture. Here we help you with the same.
Captain
Jos Buttler gets captaincy nod
England wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler is our choice as skipper since he is enjoying form of his life. The 27-year old batsman will, once again, be a thorn for Indian bowlers. His strike-partner Jason Roy is known for giving his side quick starts, as seen in Manchester. Centurion KL Rahul comes in at number three and like Buttler, he is scoring runs at will.
Middle-order
Kohli adds depth in the middle-order
Virat Kohli comes in at number four to add more depth in the side. He looked in good touch during his unbeaten 20-run knock in the first T20I. Rohit Sharma, too, gets a spot in the Fantasy XI. The stylish batsman impressed in the first match and will look to continue in the same vein. Hardik Pandya is the only all-rounder in this side.
Bowlers
Kuldeep gets vice-captaincy role in 5-men bowling attack
After an impressive five-wicket haul in the first match, an in-form Kuldeep Yadav gets the nod as the vice-captain. Yuzvendra Chahal and Adil Rashid lend him support in the spin department. Umesh Yadav bowled well in the first game and did not give away runs besides bagging two crucial wickets. Alongside him is England pacer Liam Plunkett.
